[b:Havemercy|2305862|Havemercy|Jaida Jones|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1320400450s/2305862.jpg|2312276] is a fast paced direct narrative told from four distinctly different voices based on an in-depth, complex world building full of unique elements. The book is highly complex, with even small details from the beginning playing a vital role in the outcome that make even an attentive reader like me flip occasionally back just to make sure it was really there (it is!).
I can't say more about if without giving utter spoilers - hence, just be warned that the backtext just doesn't give it credit.
